As promised, I bring you Turkey Chili Muffins. They’re lean, clean, spiced, and best of all, adorable. What’s not to love? (Vegetarians, don’t answer that…)
Ingredients:
- 1.3 lbs 99% lean ground turkey**
- 1 can navy beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 jalapeno, finely diced
- 2 egg whites
- 2/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup milk***
- 1 tsp cumin, heaping
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and grease a muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. I suggest using your hands to get it thoroughly mixed.
- Divide the turkey mixture between the 12 muffin cups and bake for 35-40 minutes.
Get crazy with it. Add cheese. Serve with beer. Top with hot sauce. You know, the usual { chili } suspects. I think I might even make these again for the Super Bowl party we’re attending. I may not care much about NFL football, but I’m not one to turn down a party.

I’ve never made savory muffins before, and I have no idea why. I think my brain just has a hard time wrapping itself around a muffin not being sweet
These sound incredibly easy to make and delicious as heck. Definitely going to give them a try.

I need to find some ground turkey so I can makes these!

Ooh yum I love chili flavours! I tried making turkey muffins once using another recipe and they were a major fail because they basically just called for meat and flavourings. I like that your contains more binding ingredients and oats for water absorption so that they’re more moist! They look awesome.

Ooo I’ve never thought to add beans! Yummmm

These look great! My favorite part? Serve with beer and top with hot sauce.
January 24, 2013 at 7:44 pm
These look good! I bet they’d be great with beef or chicken too.
January 24, 2013 at 8:20 pm
Yum! Love this idea!

These look great & even fit into David’s strict diet, so I’m totally going to be making these!
January 24, 2013 at 11:31 pm
These look really yummy. And doesn’t everything taste better when they are shaped like a muffin?
January 25, 2013 at 5:12 am
You’re right–these would be great for a party . . . easy to serve and easy to eat while watching a game!

Those are so cute- and now that I’m in my meat craving phase, I might have to try these!
January 27, 2013 at 8:42 pm
These are great! I can’t wait to try them!
February 23, 2013 at 12:27 pm
Gonna try these for our Chili Cook-off! They’re so cute, I think even people who don’t like chili will try them! (Well, without cayenne!) Thanks!!!!
